Classy Move By UConn Kicker

In his Sunday sports column, Jeff Jacobs describes the quintessential meaning of the term "having class" [Sept. 18, "In First Game, Virginia Kicker Learns Heartbreak"]. Bobby Puyol, the senior kicker for the Huskies, reached out to the sophomore UVA rookie who had just missed his chance to tie the game in the final seconds, telling him, "You're going to have more kicks. This kick won't define you. We've all, as kickers, been through some sort of struggle." How kind and classy is that?

With this kind of comportment we needn't worry about the youth of our country. Our national presidential candidates could learn a thing or two from these kids.
